It’s almost time for the Festival of the Arts in EPCOT, and we couldn’t be more excited!

As we’re gearing up for the next food festival, which starts on January 16th, Disney has decided to give us a preview of what to expect at different booths this year. Grab your forks and let’s dive in!

Are you ready for what might be our favorite EPCOT festival? We know we are! Over on YouTube, Disney got us even more excited by sharing a preview of what’s to come at the creative booths this month. First is the Figment Fantasy Cake at Figment’s Inspiration Station!

Next, we have the Lobster Ceasar Salad at The Artist’s Table.

For something sweet, you’ve got the Sparkling Spectacle Gateau at Deco Delights!

At the same booth, they’ve also got the Boyd and Blair Espresso Martini.

The POP EATS! booth will be debuting a Croque Monsieur-inspired Grilled Cheese. Can you say oui?

Also at Pop Eats, you can try the Black de Bleu Couvee Mousseaux! Try saying that 5 times fast.

Finally, the Fictional Victuals booth will have the Chapter 3 Tea Treat.

Disney also updated the website with what looks like the full menu for Figment’s Inspiration Station, though we’re sure it could still change:

This festival celebrates three artistic disciplines: the Culinary, Visual, and Performing Arts! This means that the food is colorful and unique, the entertainment is over the top, and Figment is the star of the show. Outside of the food, you can check out the Disney on Broadway Concert Series, which features performances by some of Broadway’s most accomplished actors and actresses singing some of Disney’s most famous songs at the America Gardens Theatre.

You can also tap into your creative side with Figment’s Brush with the Masters Scavenger Hunt! This hunt takes you around the World Showcase as you search for Figment in each pavilion. Plus, you get a prize at the end.

This festival also boasts an Animation Academy in the American Gardens Theater, where real Disney animators will teach you to draw. You don’t even need to bring supplies; paper and pencil are provided for this complimentary art session.

You can even test out your painting skills at the Expression Section, which is located on the walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! This is a mural that gives guests a chance to paint their own section of what will eventually become a huge piece of art. The mural is available to paint daily from 11 AM until 5 PM, and you can get a bookmark of what you paint as a free souvenir.

Throughout the park, you can also find art of beloved Disney characters, artists’ works, and even more bright and colorful additions. We particularly love the chalk art you can find as you walk into the World Showcase.

We can’t wait to try these and more amazing food items once they arrive at the festival. We’re still keeping our eyes peeled for full menus for the festival, so be sure to keep following DFB for more Disney news, updates, and more.
